Help ID plant......

[Yogi28]

Hey guys I jusr ordered some orange cherry shrimp and I got this plant as a surprise. It doesn't have roots at the bottom so I'm not sure if it is suppose to float around the aquarium or be planted in the substrate. Plese help I really like this plant and I would love to keep it alive if possible.

Looks like Brazilian Pennywort. Ime a very easy low/moderate light plant. It tends to run all over the place.

Agreed. It can be used as a floater or as a stem plant. If you want to keep it, let that little guy float - if all goes well it'll develop roots, etc, but not 100% sure it will from just a leaf vs. a stem with leaf attached.

Yes it look like a Pennywort, and yes- it is a leaf, not a plant.

It's Hydrocotyle verticilata. The stem is at the center of the "leaf" similar to an umbrella. Brazillian pennywort stems are at the edge of the leaf, not the center. It is a type of pennywort. The plant can be grown in substrate or left floating. If conditions are right, it will grow like a weed.

I agree, leaves are too round to be Brazilian.
